Yours Truly Chapter Thirty-Five: Kat
KatThe hospital didn’t have an executive suite. Instead, Kat was placed in the best room on the Women’s Care unit. It was far enough away from the labor and delivery rooms that she couldn’t hear anything, and as far from the elevators as possible so that the staff could catch any reporters trying to sneak up on her.Kat looked around the room, trying to memorize it for later. There was the traditional hospital bed with white blanket, a water color painting of a mother with her child on the wall, and a pale blue plastic couch and matching chair. In about eight months or so, she would be back here in a room just like this one having a baby. Eight months seemed a long way away and yet terribly close at the same time.“The nurse is going to bring me some more pillows,” AJ said, pulling the visitor couch out into a bed. He had his suit jacket tossed over on the chair and the sleeves of his white dress shirt rolled up.“You really don’t have to stay the night with me,” Kat told him, eyeing
Yours Truly Epilogue
About 7 months later…“I hope you have your bags packed.” Dr. Misti-Cooper wheeled her chair away from Kat’s open legs. “Because your water has broken.”“Hallelujah!” Kat announced while AJ paled. “That means we can just go over to the labor and delivery unit, right? No going home? No more waiting?”“Yes to all of those,” Dr. Misti-Cooper said with a smile. “You’re going to have a baby.”“Thank you, Doctor!” Tears of relief streamed down Kat’s face. The pregnancy had been rough. The morning sickness had lasted her entire pregnancy. Everyone kept telling her it would go away when she hit the second trimester, but it never did. The nausea and vomiting had lasted all the way up to the end.But today was her last day of puking, because she was going to have this baby.“Would you like a wheelchair? Or do you want to walk over?” asked Dr. Misti-Cooper.“I’ll walk,” Kat told her. “It’ll help progress labor, right?”The doctor nodded and helped her sit up on the exam table. “How are you feeli
Yours Truly Chapter One: Kat
KatKat scanned the room. Surely she’d see him...There he was! she thought with a bit of excitement as she saw his blonde hair. He was talking to the other groomsmen, but surely she could lure him away for a moment.On a nearby pew, she set down the flowers that the bride had sent her to get, then took a deep breath. She walked with a purpose toward the group of men.He saw her coming when she was a few feet away. For a moment, she thought she could see his smile fade, but a moment later it came right back.“Brian, right?” Kat led with. Of course she had remembered. She had hung on his every word when they had spoke before the wedding, and he had seemed to like her too, but now she had to make it look like she wasn’t that interested.“Uh, yeah,” he replied. “Carrie, right?”She sighed. Maybe he was just bad with names. “Kat, actually.”There was a long pause, as if he thought she had more to say. He spoke up, though. “Oh, of course, Kat. What’s up?”What’s up? Kat thought to herself.
Yours Truly Chapter Two: Fun Kat
Fun KatIf a fashion magazine and a flower shop had a baby, it would look like this reception, Kat thought to herself as she finally walked into the hotel ballroom. She set the garter down on the bride’s table before turning to observe the room. The ballroom was antique and beautiful to begin with, but Kat was fairly sure Renee had purchased every flower in the tri-state area. Roses dominated, but there were gardenias, lilies, orchids, hyacinth, and every other flower Kat could name. She didn’t want to think about what Bob had paid to clear the stock out of fifteen different flower shops.She looked around, pretending to take in the decorations but really looking for Mr. Sexy-wink from earlier. The room was lit for mood, so it was difficult to see faces among the multitudes of flowers. Of course, because Kat had gone back home to get the forgotten garter, she was an hour late to the reception. Most of the food was eaten and the first dance was already well underway.“At least I didn’t
Yours Truly Chapter Three: Fun Kat
Fun KatThey were both breathing heavily from the dancing, and AJ suggested taking a step outside.“Let’s get some air,” he said. “It’s hot in here.”This room is not the only place that’s hot, Kat thought, as she followed AJ’s lead out of the ballroom and into the lobby of the hotel. They walked out the double doors and into the early evening air. The sky was slowly darkening as the early June sun finally dipped below the horizon.“You know what?” AJ said after a moment. “Feel like going for a limo ride? It’s a beautiful evening and we could get the driver to take us for a quick loop somewhere. I’m sure there’s a park nearby.”“That sounds great, but where are we going to get a limo?” Kat asked. “Unless you brought your own. I saw you driving that red car earlier, but maybe you switched cars. That would be a little tacky.”AJ laughed. “No, I didn’t. I drove myself, thank you.”“So, how are we going to get a limo to drive us around?” Kat motioned to the only limo parked in front of th
Yours Truly Chapter Four: AJ
AJ“So, tell me about yourself, Kat,” AJ asked, getting comfortable in his seat. He couldn’t believe his luck. He had the most beautiful woman at the party alone with him in a limo. He wanted to pinch himself just to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.“What do you want to know?” Kat asked, smoothing the fabric of her skirt.Everything, AJ thought to himself. It was taking some self-control not to reach out and touch her. It wasn’t just her physical beauty that attracted him. She was witty and funny with just enough sass to keep him on his toes. The fact that she’d approached the limo without waiting for him to take charge was a huge turn-on.Instead, he played it cool. “Anything you want to share.”“Um, well...” Kat shrugged. Her movement was easy and graceful. “I am able to kill any houseplant.”“Seriously?” AJ chuckled.“Yes, and I know that’s a weird thing to admit to someone you just met, but...” she grinned. “It’s a good conversation starter.”“That it is. Any houseplant?” AJ asked.“
Yours Truly Chapter Five: Fun Kat
Fun KatThey headed back to the reception, and Kat and AJ enjoyed some champagne during the ride. They sat next to each other like they were boyfriend and girlfriend. The moment just felt right and natural. There was no awkwardness and nervousness coming from either of them. The only thing in the air was sexual tension that Kat planned on releasing as soon as they got back to the hotel.“When we get back, can I see your suite?” Kat asked.The words just stumbled out of her mouth, as if she had no control at all. The booze was making her so much more forward about her intentions. AJ wrapped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her close before responding, “You don’t need to even ask to see my suite. But since you did, the answer is of course ‘yes’.”“Maybe I should call Jennifer and tell her that I might be a little late coming back to the room tonight,” Kat said, as the limo neared the end of the park’s loop.AJ just shrugged as he kept his arm around her. His touch felt safe and she
Yours Truly Chapter Six: Fun, Sexy Kat
Fun, Sexy KatWhen the elevator finally stopped, they got out and made their way to the end of the hall, where AJ used his card key to open a set of double doors. When they stepped inside, Kat’s jaw hit the floor. The suite was wide open and huge. To the left was a giant full-sized kitchen, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a beautiful mahogany floor. To the right was the living room and dining room, both fully furnished with expensive-looking arrangements. The main area of the suite was as big as her house and twice as nice.“This is incredible,” she whispered.AJ dropped her hand and slipped off his tailored suit coat, hanging it up on the rack near the front door. “Yeah, it’s pretty nice. It’s not as nice as the bride’s suite, though. You should see that thing. Her room has a swimming pool and a hot tub in it. No joke.”Kat floated down the strip of wood floor to the back part of the suite, where floor to ceiling windows were located, looking out across the city.
